Karen's Review Of This Property:

Le Lavandin is the fruit of one woman’s passion for Provence and the French savoir-vivre. Georgia, an American, has created a space that is a breathtaking combination of traditional Provencal architecture and contemporary French design and furnishings. In doing so, she offers her guests a piece of heaven. She loves flowers, books, music and cooking. You will be captivated by her garden: a lavender field, a rose garden with 257 bushes, Olive trees, fruits trees, a flower garden, and a vegetable/fruit area. The garden, surrounding the pool, also includes six little salons in which to relax. On the property are the main house, home to your host, and a separate guest house to insure privacy and independence. The guests’ house enjoys an outside “summer kitchen;” a contemporary living-room with a library that faces the terrace with all wooden furniture, and four beautiful bedrooms each with its own bath and terrace. All rooms have terracotta floors, handmade doors, contemporary décor and a library. If you prefer a larger space, ask for the studio with kitchenette—a large room with miniature sofas and a big library. This place will capture your heart.

We spent a week at Le Lavandin in early May and found it to be as lovely as we had hoped from your description in Karen Brown’s France B&B: beautiful grounds bursting with flower gardens, olive trees, lavender, and the biggest, most incredible roses we’ve ever seen. Our second-floor room with patio/veranda had great views of the countryside. The guest house was immaculate, tastefully decorated and filled with books and flowers. There are many places to relax throughout the property among the gardens on patios, verandas, by the pool. Le Lavandin’s owner Georgia knows Provence well and helped us plan our sightseeing excursions and map out our itineraries. Her suggestions as to which markets to visit, places to see, restaurants to eat at were so valuable and appreciated. The location is convenient to all of Provence and provides a good base for touring/day tripping, or, if you want, just relaxing.

Le Lavandin offers the quintessential experience of the spirit and hospitality of the region of Provence. Georgia Ball, the owner and host, has created an oasis of beauty throughout the rooms and the grounds of this soothing retreat. Rooms are tastefully decorated and we enjoyed picnics and wine on the adjacent terraces. Georgia’s considerable knowledge of the region paves the way for daytime trips to the perched villages and evening meals at some of the best restaurants in the Provence. Particularly for those of us new to the region, a visit to Le Lavindin provides the kind of introduction that prompts visitors to come again and again.
